About this place

King's club anchors it respectably, but the transcendent Memphis night happens off-strip. Wild Bill's, a strip-lit juke joint in a shopping parade, runs sweat-soaked soul revues at weekends — cash only, shared tables, forty-ounce beers. Do Sun Studio and Stax by day, then earn the museum tickets after dark. Sunday gospel brunch at a soul café completes the syllabus.
